Deathmatcher Posted November 17, 2003 So, Legacy seems to go well with XP, but it doesn't support the Doom Marine "puppets" (you know, the false player figures). Are there plans to add this to Legacy or is there another XP-xompatible port which supports them? 0 Share this post Link to post
boris Posted November 17, 2003 Heh, "support" them? Legacy took them out. Every other port I know still has them. 0 Share this post Link to post
sargebaldy Posted November 17, 2003 Every other port 'supports' them fine, to my knowledge. 0 Share this post Link to post
Szymanski Posted November 18, 2003 Legacy removed them and have no plans to bring them back. I guess they have plenty of other things to fix. I use: PRboom - Doom2.exe demo playback mostly Zdoom - My default port Doomsday - best opengl/direct 3D port 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted November 18, 2003 Like people have said, only Legacy has removed this feature (AFAIK). However, Doomsday (jDoom, etc.) has some issues with voodoo dolls: 1) It appears to have a limit on the number of them that can occur in a map. Try playing caesar.wad with jDoom to see the effect this can have. 2) In jHeretic, using a chaos device results in telefragging a voodoo doll. Not good. Play shadow.wad (Shadowcaster) for an example. Sorry, I forget on which map this becomes relevant - E4M4 maybe. (NB: I haven't tested these in a very recent version - they might have been fixed by now.) 0 Share this post Link to post
Deathmatcher Posted November 19, 2003 Thank you so far. All I need is a XP-xompatible port which supports a maximum of approx. 4 Doom2-voodoo dolls per level. I don't need 3D-Support and jumping/looking up etc. should be allowed to toggle off. By the way: Is it possible to place voodoo dolls for players 2-4 in coop mode? What happens when a doll dies in coop, will it be resurrected once the respective player respawns? 0 Share this post Link to post

No, it don't respawn. 0 Share this post Link to post
Deathmatcher Posted November 23, 2003 Yeah, I tried out the latest ZDoom-Version. It's great! No compatibility problems. I remember having tried out an older version of it, facing some problems - now it seems to be fine. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
